Party Bus vs. Limo: How to Choose in Connecticut

Pick by headcount first: a stretch limousine fits up to 8, a Sprinter-style van up to about 14, and a full party bus 20 or more. Absolute Transportation operates stretch limos and Sprinter/Transit vans; for bigger groups we send multiple vehicles rather than a party bus. Call 203-938-0000 or book online.

Quick comparison

Stretch limo: classic look, photos, couples and small groups (up to 8). Sprinter/Transit van: stand-up headroom, easier entry, luggage, groups of 9-14. Party bus: dance-floor style for 20+, usually with stricter rules and longer minimums at most companies.

Prom and wedding considerations

Schools often set rules about vehicles and itineraries; check before you book. For weddings, a limo for the couple plus a van for the bridal party or guests is a common pairing.

Licensing matters more than vehicle type

Whatever you book, ask for the company's CT livery permit and U.S. DOT numbers. Ours: CT Livery Permit #3117, U.S. DOT #1567094.
